Cucumber Mint Milk Tea
I prepare this Cucumber Mint Milk Tea when I want something refreshing and different. It has cucumber juice, mint leaves, fragrant jasmine tea, and milk in it. It’s really refreshing and not too sweet. It tastes like milk tea and spa water mixed together, and I really like that for us. It doesn’t need anything special to make, and it’s the best drink for summer.
I made this on a hot day with leftover cucumbers and tea, and it blew my mind. It’s strange in the best way: really clean, a little sweet, and truly good for you.
